The distinctive kink in the top tube, the bottle cage position under the top tube and the four-link rear triangle fit perfectly into the corporate identity of the French e-bike specialist Moustache. The Samedi 29 Trail 5 aims to appeal primarily to trail-loving touring riders.

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX Smart System shows. With torque under the motor cover, the support is generous. Nobody needs to fear steep hills anymore. Furthermore, the power of the motor control is regulated so that the start always feels dynamic,. Thanks to the very good range, you should no longer have any range problems even on very long tours.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Moustache Samedi 29 Trail 5 ⬤ in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (6000) ⬤.

The Rock Shox chassis provides safety and traction, even when the trail gets rougher. However, it comes to its limit at high speed. The mid-range brakes from Shimano do their job but could be a bit firmer. The power of the four pistons setup is only average. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. The trend is going towards increasingly longer main frames. With a very high Reach Value, Moustache meets this trend. However, especially inexperienced riders must be aware that it takes a brave body effort to maneuver the Samedi 29 Trail 5.

Conclusion

Expirience with the Moustache Samedi 29 Trail 5
